That's kinda what I had in mind for the exclamation, that it's use was to indicate you had an intention to say something and wanted someone's attention.
I just figured it was safer for that to be player initiated that rather than have it be an automatic response to starting to type, or something that happens after the fact.
Not that I'm not okay with ! and ? being after text things. That's still a helpful communication addition, which was the entire point here: Making communication easier and more visual
As an aside, what if the more short hand emotes were used by something nonverbal, like an NPC robot? EX: Fire bots displaying the fire emote when they kick into action?
